Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution scales well."
"Every product is good and bad, but its claim to fame is that it is scalable. We're doing more than 3,000 VMs. Every single night a complete image backup to disks and replication are easily done in under four hours."
"Graphically, it's very user interactive. It's got a very nice interface."
"We have seen huge data reduction and data deduplication and compression, which is very cost-effective and cost-reducing for the company."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"I think they could also move more towards cloud solutions. It already has some cloud tiering, but I think that could be more extensive. They should work with all cloud providers and I think in the future they will be on all cloud platforms."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"Some integrations are not in place, such as the email alerts, which are not compatible with Office 365 SMTP gateway."
"Avamar is dependent on the hardware. It can't be implemented with ordinary storage. It can only be implemented with an EMC product. We want to have a backup solution that allows us to use independent storage and other hardware. It would be good if they can simplify its technology and make it possible to implement it with another storage. This is probably not possible because Avamar is an EMC product, and EMC would like to sell its own products."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"The solution used to freeze sometimes while taking a snapshot backup."
"The licensing model is not very flexible. Every time we upgrade our storage size, we need to upgrade the Avamar license."
"We have had a lot of problems with the Dell EMC Avamar solution. The snapshots are not being erased after backup."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
